The Minimal Set of Genetic Alterations Required for Conversion of Primary Human Fibroblasts to Cancer Cells in the Subrenal Capsule Assay
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Based on previous studies, a minimal set of genetic alterations that is required to convert normal human fibroblasts into cancer cells has been defined. Essential roles for telomere maintenance and alterations in phosphatase 2A activity were inferred from experiments in which tumorigenicity was tested by injecting cells under the skin of immunodeficient mice. However, in the present experiments, the combination...
